The Nusfjord exhumed earthquake source (Lofoten, Norway): deep crustal seismicity driven by bending of the lower plate during continental collision (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Menegon, L., Campbell, L., Fagereng, Å., & Pennacchioni, G. (2020). The Nusfjord exhumed earthquake source (Lofoten, Norway): deep crustal seismicity driven by bending of the lower plate during continental collision. In EGU General Assembly 2020. https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-7129

The origin of earthquakes in the lower crust at depth of 20-40 km, where dominantly ductile deformation is expected, is highly debated. Exhumed networks of lower crustal coeval pseudotachylytes (quenched frictional melt produced during seismic slip)...

Pyroxene low-temperature plasticity and fragmentation as a record of seismic stress evolution in the lower crust (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Campbell, L., & Menegon, L. (2020). Pyroxene low-temperature plasticity and fragmentation as a record of seismic stress evolution in the lower crust. In EGU General Assembly 2020. https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-7380

Seismic rupture of the lower continental crust requires a high failure stress, given large lithostatic stresses and potentially strong rheologies. Several mechanisms have been proposed to generate high stresses at depth, including local amplification...

Insights from easternmost Tethys: Slab rollback, mantle exhumation, and UHT metamorphism in Eastern Indonesia (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pownall, J., Hall, R., Forster, M., & Lister, G. (2018). Insights from easternmost Tethys: Slab rollback, mantle exhumation, and UHT metamorphism in Eastern Indonesia. In EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts

The collision of Australia with SE Asia around 23 million years ago marked the closure of the eastern Tethys. Continued convergence of these two continents has since resulted in a complex array of active subduction zones, young mountain belts, and ne...

A low-angle normal fault earthquake and tsunami: The 1852 Banda Sea Earthquake, Eastern Indonesia (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pownall, J., Pranantyo, I., Cummins, P., & Griffin, J. (2018). A low-angle normal fault earthquake and tsunami: The 1852 Banda Sea Earthquake, Eastern Indonesia. In AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts

In November 1852, the Banda Islands, Eastern Indonesia suffered a devastating earthquake which was followed fifteen minutes later by a tsunami with up to eight meters height. Strong shaking was also felt on Ambon, Saparua, and Haruku Islands. The tsu... Read More about A low-angle normal fault earthquake and tsunami: The 1852 Banda Sea Earthquake, Eastern Indonesia.

Geological aspects of Banda Sea ecosystems and how they shape the oceanographical profile (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pownall, J. M., Hall, R., Lister, G. S., & Trihatmojo, A. (2018). Geological aspects of Banda Sea ecosystems and how they shape the oceanographical profile. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 184(conference 1), Article 012005. https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/184/1/012005

The Banda Sea is a collage of young oceanic basins and fragmented Australian continental crust located at the heart of the Australia–SE Asia collision zone where Australian and Asian biogeographic regions converge. The formation of the sea was govern... Read More about Geological aspects of Banda Sea ecosystems and how they shape the oceanographical profile.

Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, N. J., Evans, K. C., Robinson, L. J., & Cowley, L. A. (2014). Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China. . https://doi.org/10.15530/URTEC-2014-1906965

The overwhelming impact of unconventional exploration in the United States of America has sparked global interest in the development of shale resource plays. In China, although shale gas exploration has been a key focus in the past five years, partic... Read More about Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China.

Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waltham, D. A., Rowley, P. J., Burgess, P. M., & MacLean, S. (2012, February). Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment. Paper presented at Petroleum Play Assessment

Stratigraphic forward models encode what we know about dynamic stratigraphy in the form of a numerical model that can make various types of predictions of stratal geometries and facies distributions. Unfortunately, limited knowledge of the physical l... Read More about Conditional frequency mapping of move reservoir sedimentation models for improved play assessment.

Paper presented at Earth on the edge: Science for a sustainable planet. International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, Melbourne, Australia

The proximal succession of the 273 ka Poris eruption in the Diego Hernandez wall of Las Cañadas, Tenerife, records opening, main, and waning stages of explosive activity. Stratigraphic and geochemical correlations show varying processes between prox...
